Proposed Title : AI-Enhanced Triconverter Device for Banana Peel Processing
Research Discipline (It is the area of study where your research is expected to provide the most relevant
contribution.)

Scientific/Theoretical Background to the Study (What have you read that you decided to pursue this
topic?)

Knowledge Gap to be Filled (What new contribution to knowledge does this study hope to generate?)

1. AI-enhanced Triconverter Device: The study aims to develop an innovative triconverter device that
incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) for more efficient banana peel processing. This device could
potentially revolutionize the way banana peels are utilized.

2. Optimized Processing Parameters: By conducting research, the study intends to identify and optimize
processing parameters that can maximize resource recovery from banana peels. This can lead to more
efficient and sustainable utilization of this agricultural waste product.

3. Trained CNN Model: The study plans to train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for the
specific task of determining the readiness of banana peels for grinding. This AI model can help automate
and improve the processing of banana peels.
4. High-quality banana peel essential oil suitable for various applications. Formulations and applications
demonstrating the versatility and market potential of the extracted oil.
